Scott Whitaker, owner of the Restoration 1 in Spokane, Washington, has partnered with Traction Capital, an investment firm dedicated to helping entrepreneurs in the Western U.S. Whitaker opened his first Restoration 1 franchise in 2017 while serving as captain of the Spokane Valley Fire Department. Over the last five years, he has experienced strong growth, expanding into additional territories in Central Washington and garnering the attention of Traction Capital.
"I am excited to partner with Traction Capital as we grow our business to the Tri-Cities and Yakima area and look to other opportunities beyond the state,” Whitaker said. “I believe a key component of our success thus far is the fact that we have built a team of great people and helped them succeed individually. Traction shares this philosophy and will allow us to develop even further.”
